Absolutely. This is a normal human psychological pattern.

Sometimes I wake up Grumpy. Sometimes I let him sleep.

That punchline has "Phyllis Diller" written all over it!

I get so grumpy at restaurants when we get a complete meal and it gets cold while our requests for silverware go unanswered! But in the big picture, what does it matter?

As T.S. Eliot so nicely phrased it, “I grow old … I grow old … I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.”

Happily retired since 2009, at age 61. Best years of my life by far!
